ABOUT FRANK THE DOG

Frank the Dog began singing together in 2008. With lots of laughter, horseplay and joking around, as well as an innate desire to work hard, they soon realized the chemistry was there to not only be good friends, but also to make some pretty good music. Early on, the members established some guiding principles - keep family priorities high, have fun, and strive to make “Frank” as good as their talents would allow.

Also each year, they do benefits and sponsor events to raise funds for scholarships, to encourage young people to get involved in the joy of singing. They won the 2013 Mid-Atlantic District Quartet Championship in Ocean City, MD and are regular competitors in the BHS International Quartet Contest.

Steve Kirsch sang throughout his formative years in a combination of church and school groups, and was first introduced to barbershop through an invitation to a show. His girlfriend at the time was participating in her father’s annual barbershop chorus show. A guest quartet filled the auditorium with an amazing sound, Steve was hooked, and he began singing barbershop after finishing college. Well, that girlfriend is now his wonderful wife Debbie (a Sweet Adeline lead). They live in Lansdale, PA with their two (very quickly growing and very active) sons. In his spare time, Steve is a consultant for a small IT company in southeastern PA.

Brian Lindvall joined the quartet in December of 2015. He began singing at the age of 16, on an educational outreach program scholarship offered by the Barbershop Harmony Society. Brian served as Musical Director of the sixteen-member a cappella group Tigertones at Princeton University while working on a senior thesis in Architectural Acoustics. He is also a founding member/past president of Voices of Gotham, a 40-voice men’s barbershop chorus based in Hell's Kitchen, NY.

He is a Partner and Director at an Emmy Award-winning branding and marketing agency, specializing in luxury real estate and major architectural projects. Brian lives in Brooklyn, NY with his lovely and talented wife Sarah, who directs Sirens of Gotham, a women's barbershop chorus also based in Hell’s Kitchen.

Tom Halley was introduced to barbershop quartet singing, while still in high school, and since then, singing has been a wonderful pursuit, one he shares with his amazing wife Donna (a Sweet Adeline tenor). A blended family, with Donna’s 3 daughters and Tom’s 3 sons (yes, just like the Brady Bunch!) singing is a big part of their family. Beyond his many past experiences in barbershop, Tom has also appeared in numerous community theater productions. He and Donna live in Wallingford, PA, and he is a partner in a pump system manufacturing company headquartered in Warrington, PA.

Tim Knapp grew up in a singing family. His own passion for singing started in high school when he appeared in numerous musical stage productions. Introduced to barbershop in his junior year, he was hooked! Trying bass for a time, he switched to tenor and never looked back. Tim has sung in choruses in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia areas and now lives in Albany, NY with his quick witted and wonderfully charming wife Tracy. Tim and Tracy have 4 children and 2 rescued labradoodles that resemble muppets. Tim keeps busy work-wise overseeing the Safety, Health, Environmental and Security programs at a chemical manufacturing facility.
